Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 25, 2021) - Sienna Resources Inc. (TSXV: SIE) ("Sienna" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update for its Kuusamo PGE-Cu-Ni Project (the "Project" or the "Property" or "Kuusamo"), located over the large Syöte Block and smaller Pirivaara Block, the southernmost intrusions that comprise the Koillismaa Layered Igneous Complex ("KLIC"), in north-central Finland. The Project is located about 19 km south of Palladium One Mining's LK Project, covering two of the northern blocks within the KLIC, who are targeting basal Contact-Type PGE-Cu-Ni sulphide mineralization.
The KLIC is part of a suite of Paleoproterozoic continental rift-related intrusions which are highly prospective for PGE-Cu-Ni deposits such as the nearby Suhanko (Arctic Platinum Oy) deposit located about 100 km northwest of the Project. Suhanko hosts SAMREC Code Compliant Measured and Indicated resources of 5.4 million ounces of palladium grading 1.44 g/t Pd and 1.3 million ounces of platinum grading 0.35 g/t Pt at a cut-off of 1.0 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, as well as Inferred Resources of 4.4 million ounces of palladium grading 1.50 g/t Pd and 1.1 million ounces of platinum grading 0.38 g/t Pt (www.suhanko.com). Management cautions that past results or discoveries on properties in proximity to Sienna may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Company's properties.
The highly prospective Kuusamo Project has the potential to host similar styles of basal PGE-Cu-Ni mineralization (Contact-Type) found at the LK Project and associated with the basal contact of the Syöte Block. Historical mapping and diamond drilling at Kuusamo has outlined an approximately 23 km long basal contact horizon along within the Syöte Block which is prospective for Contact-Type PGE-Cu-Ni sulphide mineralization.
